Serbia and Vietnam: A Preliminary Comparison of U.S. Decisions to Use Force

By Jeffrey Record

Preface NATO s controversial decision to attack Serbia in March 1999 because of its behavior in Kosovo prompted considerable criticism in the United States. Some critics faulted the United States and its NATO allies for selecting military means incompatible with the political objective sought. Others contended that the alliance had misjudged Belgrade s strength of interest in Kosovo, and therefore willingness to defy NATO. Still others asserted that the need to maintain political consensus within the alliance was crippling NATO s military effectiveness against Serbia.
